New York Live Arts welcomes you to Come Early/Stay Late, a vibrant re-imagining of the pre- and post-show experience! Join us as we experiment with edgier ways of connecting your Live Arts experience to the greater conversations surrounding performance, embodied practice, art theory, politics, and more.

Pre-Show Events
Oftentimes taking the shape of a moderated conversation, Come Early is your opportunity to engage with some of the leading thinkers, scholars, and artists working in the performance arena today. For the 2012-13 season, Live Arts has curated a series of talks that will enliven your viewing experience of the work showcased on the main stage. All Come Early events take place in the New York Live Arts Lobby from 6:30-7:00 PM on the opening night of a performance.

Stay Late

Post-Show Events
Stay Late provides an opportunity for the Live Arts audience to engage more deeply with the artist's work and their creative process. We invite you to Stay Late in the theater and take the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the artists' creative process & vision. This season, we have planned special dance parties and interactive events to add to the fun!
